Out of the Box (mindfully)
Perspectives in Pinhole Photography
July 28 - September 15, 2021
We live inside and outside of boxes. Real-world boxes built by our hands -- homes, workplaces, and cars -- and metaphoric boxes created by our minds -- expectations, restrictions, and personal identities. Photographer Jay Sullivan spent seven summers in his Red Bank backyard exploring inside boxes, outside boxes and the places in between using a hand-made pinhole camera. Out of the Box is both a series of pinhole photographs and the conversations they enjoin.
Exhibition Dates: Wednesday, July 28th through Wednesday, September 15th, 10am-5pm, Tuesday through Saturday, (closed Sunday and Monday).
Location: Red Bank FrameWorks 135 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 732-219-6688.
In lieu of a formal opening reception, the photographer is present in the gallery Wednesday, July 28th through Saturday, July 31st, 1pm – 5pm for one-on-one or small group discussions about photographic, creative, and mind-made boxes. He will be hosting the discussions using “Conversation Cards”, visual playing cards designed specifically to facilitate conversations during this exhibition. Reservations are recommended for the conversations. Click here to reserve a time - Out of Box Conversation Scheduler
